    I was having mixed feels in the beginning, but the show gradually became good. But there are some stereotypical stuff about Indians which I hated, especially the one with Ganesh Puja festival. That episode was disgusting af.

    Predictable, worn out hollywood template. For young teens probably good enough to watch, otherwise, no.

    Terrible show with clunky characters. As an Indian I got really disgusted at the 80s era stereotypes on religion and arranged marriages. What a trainwreck

    My wife and I enjoyed this. The writing is funny and poignant. Plenty of heart, well worth a watch.

    The story is a refreshing tale of a teen balancing her life and finding her identity as an Indian-American. it might seem generic at first but once you actually start watching, the story will warm your heart and the characters are sure to win you over. Personally, as an ethnic minority, I love the show for its non-forced representation.

    Such a cute show! I had decided a while ago that I was too old to watch any more movies/tv about high schoolers (and annoyed that Netflix kept trying to push these shows and movies on me), but thought I'd give this one a brief chance since Mindy Kaling's name was on it. I got hooked and watched the whole thing in two days. It's a comedy, but it's balanced with a lot of heart andSuch a cute show!

Likable, relatable, well written characters. I hope there will be a season 2.… Expand

    Loved it! Some of Mindy Kaling's best work. Frustrating and quirky and endearing characters, with a sometimes tough story to laugh and cry through. Enjoyable and entertaining.

    uma série boa pra passar o tempo, mas com atuações e roteiro medianos. eu particularmente achei os personagens e suas interações um pouco estranhas em algum nível, tudo parecia muito pouco verossímil e demorei pra me acostumar com a narrativa e parae de me sentir incomodada

    Never have I ever

    Effortlessly handles its humour and dramatic themes, with a well handled representation of South Asian culture. With characters that feel juvenile, this **** story is nuanced and very entertaining.

    With Kaling involved, if you thought it would be funnier than Never Have I Ever turns out to be, you wouldn’t be alone. The dollops of “sweet” and rare laughs are especially hard to come by in the first few episodes.

    Though not a perfect ride and likely to be overhyped out of starvation mode for any teen comedy resembling the actual diversity, horniness, and profanity of being a teenage girl, Never Have I Ever gets there, eventually. The series’ back half settles into a storyline balancing emotional depth with outbursts, and what emerges is a moving and original portrait of a teenage girl grappling with grief. It’s a bummer that it couldn’t have arrived at this version faster.

    Never Have I Ever is just about as perfect of a teen TV comedy as you can get.
